Yep, it's a "blower" fan like the reference one and if anything it's smaller than the reference one. Same fan as in the HD 6950 Toxic, that one is quiet, dunno about this 6970 but most of the reviewers on Newegg are happy.
Hmm. Looks like a painted reference cooler to me. Same type fan type, same size, same exhaust area. Are the insides different then, and how?
2x6950 is within your budget and you won't be disappointed I'm sure. The second 6950 will undoubtedly be worse value for money than the first one, but that's how it goes when you want high frame rates with high settings in a demanding game like BF3.
Yes Vengeance is fine as long as the heat spreaders don't block the CPU cooler. You should make sure that the cooler you choose is compatible with tall heat spreaders - or just go with the low-profile Vengeance.
Whats difference beetwen the Low Profile and normal vengeance?
Cooler will be Cooler Master Hyper 212+ or Thermalright HR-02 Macho/ Scythe Mugen 3 will see which one is avaliabe are these cooler compatible with tall heat spreaders ?
And what about the Monitor?
One is low profile, the other isn't. :E
212+ and SM3 won't be compatible with tall heat spreaders as far as I know. I've read the 212+ can just about fit above the G.Skill Ripjaws heat spreaders, but Vengeance is taller. And I have the Scythe Mugen 2 which is about the same size and it can only fit low profile (= standard size) RAM under it. I'm not sure about Thermalright Hr02 macho with the fan installed.
The 23.6" Asus should be fine, though I'd go with the VH238H over the 232H
Hm so looks like i cant go this Vengeance RAM because of the issue with Cooler lol what to do then
Low profile is the normal profile. It performs just as well as RAM with tall fancy heat spreaders.Mby i understand it bad Low Profile means not good RAM like the normal profile one?
Sure a 120hz monitor is nice, much smoother image than on a 60hz monitor. But they are more expensive and most people don't really need them, and it may also be out of your budget so that's why I didn't bring it up. If you want to get a 120hz monitor get Asus VG236HE.About Monitor isnt better to get 3D also ? When im buying new Monitor ah the 3D one cost a lot lol it cost like +100 euros more thats a lot
If you can't find a Corsair XMS3 kit of 2x4GB 1333mhz or 1600mhz, then try G.skill Ripjaws with the 212+, it should fit. Or ask thermalright whether Corsair Vengeance RAM will work with the hr-02 macho (or try to google an answer to that)
How it will work on 1.5V 1333mHZ when i will buy 1600 mhz 1.6v? sry if im dumbIt will work in 1.5V @ 1333MHz. To make sure you can email corsair
2x4GBIs it 2x4 gb or 4x2gb?
Also it's a good idea to check the supported RAM list for the motherboard you're planning to buy
Lower speed gets by with less voltage. As I understand it (based on info on Corsair's website) all the XMS3 kits are compatible with the 1333mhz @ 1.5V setting.How it will work on 1.5V 1333mHZ when i will buy 1600 mhz 1.6v? sry if im dumb
I recommended the P8Z68-V, not the P8Z68-V PRO. You don't need the PRO version, get the cheaper non-PRO version.Im planning the MOBO which one u recommended me ASUS P8Z68-V PRO there is said Support Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) but not sure if its the right think u want so u should check it also
I don't know what these issues are he's referring to. As I see it 6950 2GB crossfire offers a lot of performance for the money. GTX 570 SLI costs around $100-150 more than 6950 crossfire, and GTX 580 is in itself $150 (or 60% more expensive than a single 6950, while offering only ~20-25% more performance.Someone on Tomshardware said this : Swap your gpu config for either 2 GTX 570's or a single 580 as AMD drivers are currently quite bad with many issues in these forums atm.
About that hm 6950 got Memory quantity 2GB and GTX570 got 1280 and also in GPU,Memory frequency is better 6950 so dont know if he is right now he said this also: The 2Gb will make no difference at 1080p and the Nvidia Driver support is currently alot better.The GTX 570 is on par with the 6970.

And AMD's crossfire scaling is better than NVIDIA's SLI scaling ('scaling' meaning the fps increase you get from the second GPU).
No, 2x6970 isn't good value for money, and if there are issues with 6950 crossfire (which I doubt) then there are issues with 6970 crossfire too, they're very similar chips. In addition it's possible to BIOS flash some 6950's to unlock extra computing power, and they're pretty overclockable as well; this brings them near the performance of a 6970 but cost much less. You should just go with 6950 2gb crossfire, that's what I recommend and it's finalLumicko said:What about 2x 6970? I think 5x better than 2xGTX570

lehtv said:If you just want modular, go with Corsair TX M, HX, or XFX XXX edition, Seasonic M series, Antec HCP850 (if it's significantly cheaper than AX)... If you forgo modularity there's a lot more choice [edit: from the above brands]. [...] If you can find a good deal on a Seasonic X or Corsair AX, then that's good too (80+ gold isn't worth a huge price premium though)

1000W is overkill for your setup. You're better off with a 850W PSU. If you don't unlock and overclock the 6950's, you're perfectly fine with 750W. I don't recommend Cooler Master if there are alternatives such as the ones I've already listed:
If you really can't find any of the above at a reasonable price, then a CM Silent Pro Gold 800W is a good choice.
Another IDEA!

For this CoolerMaster Silent Pro Gold Active 1000W Modular ?
No, it's not true, you already know what I recommend. 850W is plenty. AX850 isn't worth paying for, you already know that too. Pay attention... I'm really not going to answer this same question againAnd friend told me that if i overclock 2x6950 i would need 1000W is that true? And when i go for Corsair AX/TX850 then which one? TX or AX? (AX is gold and it cost more)
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium OEM. If you can't find OEM then just get the retail package.About the OS which Win7 64 bit?

This micro-comparison stuff would be a lot easier if you just threw some links to the web shops you are using.
That site has two versions of the Corsair TX850, which are the cheapest decent 850s available. I'd get the TXv2, which is not only cheaper but made by Seasonic and not Channel Well. The TX850M is of course partly modular though.
